Feisty Fawn and USB

[Andrew1963]

In all other Linux distros I have used, the USB ports can be accessed by /dev/ttyUSBx where x is the port number. I cannot find any /dev/ttyUSBx on any of my machines using Feisty. How do I gain access to the USB port ? One app i want to use is ebmsync, the relevant section of which is below.

#================================================= =======
# CONFIG
#================================================= =======
set sync_dir "/home/oneill/start"

# This may well be /dev/ttyUSB0 on RedHat or other systems
set device "/dev/usb/tts/0"
set ebmsync "/usr/bin/ebmsync"

# see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eBookMan/message/3504
# and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Handspring-Visor.html
# for help on setting up usbserial.
